New Flour Test

Profile picture for user Edo Bread

Just a quick loaf to test some Central Milling High Mountain flour.

Got the results I expected. Happy with the flavor and results.

Sandwich loaves

These little sandwich loaves are are made with pretty similar amounts of bread, WW and rye flours. They are just right to slice lengthwise, stuff with goodies and then cut in half for two good size sandwiches. Baking these pretty regularly lately.

Once the garden starts producing will be even more enjoyable stuff with fresh veggies.

Cloche Oven Spring

Just happened to grab a picture that gives a pretty good feel for the oven spring I tend to get from a cloche. And, it also shows the cloche. That seemed like enough reason to post it.

Decided To Sprout a few

Found some assorted grains tucked back in a cabinet. Sprouted them and made up a little 1-2-3 loaf.

I often forget how much wonderful flavor that can add.  kamut, spelt, barley, buckwheat groats, triticale berries, oats

Super Starter

My starters are always very strong.  I was a little worried though as I took a fairly long tip to India, how my main source would do. Apparently, it really wanted to get out and be made it to bread. I found it totally healthy, but half had escaped into the refrigerator!. Made a bunch of nice loaves after a feeding.

Grill Bread

Decided to try out a new stone in the grill. First test, of course, bread. 

Made a simple dough for safety, about 30% rye and tossed it on. Always need to re-learn the technique every year, but I think this stone is going to work just fine.
